TAKE A SHELTER DOG ON A FIELD TRIP AND GET YOUR DOGGIE FIX!

Puppy Paradise is pleased to announce our Field Trip program! Enjoy the natural beauty of Puerto Vallarta. Get your “dog fix,” and give a dog a break from the shelter all at the same time! Taking the dog out of the shelter and allowing him or her to have a fun day is incredibly beneficial to the dog’s mental health, it often helps the dog get adopted, and most importantly, we get to learn more about the dog’s true behavior.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Register to schedule date & time, let our staff match you with an appropriate field trip friend or select one from Puppy Profiles or in person if you want to visit Puppy Paradise shelter. The easiest way is to have a happy dog delivered to you. Then off you go! Sign up and register. A donation is requested to help defer the cost of running the TAIL WAGGING field trip program and making sure all our amazing PUPPY PARADISE dogs have everything they need while waiting for their forever homes.
